Qualcomm Adreno 740 vs Intel UHD Graphics 770 vs Intel UHD Graphics 750

Qualcomm Adreno 740

The Qualcomm Adreno 740 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2023 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices. 

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno GPU offers a 25% improved performance compared to the Adreno 730 predecessor in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. First benchmarks show that the Adreno GPU can even beat the Apple A16 GPU (iPhone 14 Pro series) in synthetic benchmarks. Therefore, the Adreno 740 is the fastest graphics chip for smartphones in 2022.

The iGPU supports hardware accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (for bloom, depth of field and motion blur). Another first, is the support for Vulkan 1.3.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is produced in the modern 4nm process at TSMC.

Intel UHD Graphics 770

The UHD Graphics 770 is an integrated graphics card (IGP, GT1) in Alder Lake and Raptor Lake SoCs that offers 32 execution units (EUs) and a clock speed of up to 1.65 GHz (depending on the CPU model).

The performance depends on the CPU model it is integrated in and the used memory. The gaming performance is even on fast models only suited for low demanding games in 720p and low detail settings. Higher demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Dying Light 2 (see benchmarks below) did not run well in our tests.

The GPU supports up to 4 displays with eDP 1.4b (5k120), DisplayPort 1.4a (8k60) and HDMI 2.1 (4k60). 

The Alder Lake SoCs are manufactured in the "Intel 7" named process (enhanced 10nm at Intel).
